Pros

The company provides flexible work hours.

Cons

I joined CH2M at the tail end of the company's long stretch of strong reputation and great workplace. Since the last founder died around 2009/10 the company completely lost its way, probably with no recovery from what it once was as it has been already partially sold out to a venture capitalists in order to rescue it. The company is management bloated. Not only too much management, but management that does not understand people and with no passion for the work. I could write pages here on the problems and issues that the company faces, but all I will say is that if you need a job to pay the mortgage, go for it but not a long term career company. You will have no prospects for advancements if you are not white, american born and male.

Thanks for your comment, it is disappointing to hear about but we we will of course share this with our management and HR teams. You’re right when you say the company ha changed. While we remain true to the values instilled by our founders, all great companies must evolve and adapt to the marketplace and the stakeholders they serve to be competitive. At 70 years young, we are on track, going strong and poised well for the future. We are also committed to creating a culture that is respectful, collaborative and positive. Diversity, equality and inclusion have long been strategic business imperatives for us. We’re dedicated to promoting a business culture that encourages every individual to contribute to the growth and business success of CH2M. That’s why we work hard to create a culture of inclusion for all our employees, regardless of their role or location.

Pros

Vision and mission, benefits, interesting projects, offices...

Cons

I66 Management is ridiculous. A PM who has absolutely no idea - he's not even an engineer - and a business manager who has been continuously described by the client as incompetent and useless. It weighs heavy on me to hear the client saying " is this really ch2m?"
